Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square, use the formula (b/2)^2

The Quadratic Formula is: a+bx+c

thus a = x^2, b = -1

You then plug in the numbers in the formula above

(b/2)^2 = (-1/2)^2 = (1/2)^2 =1/4

D. 1/4

Explanation:

a perfect square is written in the form

(x+a)^2 = x^2 + 2ax +a^2 (1)

In our problem, we have this perfect square:

x^2 - x + C (2)

with C being unknown. However, by comparing (1) and (2), we know that

2a=-1

So, we find

a=-\frac{1}{2}

and therefore, the missing term must be

a^2 = \frac{1}{4}

so the complete square is

x^2 -x +\frac{1}{4}

The perimeter of a​ standard-sized rectangular rug is 4040 ft. the length is 22 ft longer than the width. find the dimensions.
Nataly_w [17]
L = w+22

2(l+w) = 4040
2(w+22+w) = 4040
2w + 22 = 4040/2 = 2020
2w = 2020-22 = 1998
w = 999ft

l = w+22 = 999+22 = 1021ft
w = 999 ft

can someone help me with this I have to do like 18 other questions so if you can help me with those I would appreciate it!
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)

(0, 4)

(1, 7)

\frac{7-4}{1-0} = 3

y = 3x + b

(4) = 3(0) + b

b = 4

y = 3x + 4

Rate of change: 3       initial value: 4

2.)

(0, -5)

(1, -3)

\frac{-3-(-5)}{1-0} = 2

y = 2x + b

(-5) = 2(0) + b

b = -5

Rate of change: 2        initial value: -5
